p- and n-Type Bipolar Redox-Active Radical Polymer: Toward Totally Organic Polymer-Based Rechargeable Devices with Variable Configuration

The p- and n-type bipolar redox-active radical polymer with a nitronylnitroxyl group, poly(nitronylnitroxylstyrene), expands its utilization as a cathode-or anode-active material in organic polymer-based rechargeable devices with two unprecedented configurations: a poleless battery and a rocking-chair type battery. These batteries exhibit a remarkably high power rate capability (chargeable within 20 s) and high cycle performance. [GRAPHICS] .
